[QUOTE="7stw, post: 1816112, member: 22854"] Sammy, I forget the exact measure, but I'm sure it was at the first groove in the top of the bullet. They like to jump, and can't be seated like a lead core bullet. My rifles shot that bullet like a 22.250 on steroids. My velocity was 3460, chronographed. I think I was at 3.620, so you are there, or abouts. I was shooting RL25, at 81 grains, 215GMM, WINCHESTER brass. IIt used to be good years ago, now it's junk. Some of the secret was to back off your resizer, and adjust the bump, and sorta set it up to headspace on the shoulder, or at least let it do some of the support. Sometimes hsve to make small changes, when you find it, it will give you goosebumps. My chamber was very tight also. Bought a PTG reamer, and rechambered a stainless fluted seven mag barrel. THAT thing would shoot! There's a pic back in the archives here somewhere! My pal, Butterbean remembers it! Yours will come around! [/QUOTE]
